time for retailers to step it up

Leave a response ->

Now is the time for retailers like H&M, Forever21, Gap, Zara, and others to step it up. The American economy is in the can, and people are looking to conserve cash. Even the “wealthy” aren’t looking to spend a ton of money on fashion right now. So, all kinds of women will, no doubt, be visiting the lower-priced retail stores. I hope that this drives these retailers to be more organized, and work on how the merchandise is presented. Every time I go into Forever21, for example, there are racks and racks of clothing stuffed to the gills. Why can’t it be more organized? Why can’t the merchandise be displayed in a nicer fashion? Why does the Zara in Greenwich, CT look like a designer store, but the one on 5th Avenue looks like a hot mess? People want to feel good about the money they are spending, but how can they when retailers don’t treat their own merchandise with pride and respect?

  • elisa, because there is no clothes from official collection for season:)))
  • Hi :-)

    I'm not sure I get this – you don't have enough clothes to make them available online as well?
  • I completely agree. And can we talk about the fact that Zara and H&M STILL don't have an online store setup? Come on people. How can such popular brands not make online shopping available?
  • You make a very good point. They'd be better off restocking more often than just shoving it all out there at once. It looks terrible and it doesn't sell the clothes, which is the ultimate goal is it not?
